How to Create a Gansger Bankroll

1. Cash in those coins for some cash, or “folding crimp.” Make sure you bring plenty of singles, but equally important is the presence of a Benjamin, a Grant or two, some Jacksons and Hamiltons.
2. Check the fridge for a head of broccoli. A true grinder probably doesn’t know that your average bunch of broccoli comes bunched with a nice thick, rubber band.
3. Remove the rubber band from the broccoli. (Be a good person and make sure the veggies are sealed in an airtight bag when you put them back.)
4. Transfer the rubber band from the broccoli to your “cabbage,” (i.e., your gangster roll). There’s no point in doing this if you don’t put the big bills on the outside; it helps if the portrait is facing out. See why they call it “folding green?”
5. Dig your roll out of your front pocket next time you sit down at that soft seat at the $3/$6 across town. Casually whip the rubber band off, peel off a few bills and ask, “Remind me, what’s the buy in again?” Make sure the other rounders see the full array of your dead presidents.
6. Maintain an air of casual disregard for money. After all, what kind of a guy carries that kind of jack around wrapped up in an old broccoli rubber band? A poker badass, that’s the kind.

Travels in the Scriptorium (by Paul Auster)

“Mr. Blank stops. A new idea has entered his head, a fiendish, devastating illumination that sends a wave of pleasure shuddering through his body, from the very toes on his feet to the nerve cells in his brain. In a single instant, the whole business has been made clear to him, and as the old man contemplates the shattering consequences of what he now knows is the inevitable choice, the only choice avaliable to him from a horde of contending possibilities, he begins to pound his chest and kick his feet and shake his shoulders as he lets out a whoop of wild, convulsive laughter.”

The Law and Economics of The Godfather

“This year is the 35th anniversary of the release of The Godfather, the famous 1972 movie based on the 1969 book by Mario Puzo. To celebrate, I recently reread The Godfather, and discovered that it has a lot of interesting material on on law and economics that wasn’t always emphasized in the movie.

Everyone remembers Don Corleone’s famous saying that he’s going to make ”an offer you can’t refuse.“ But for some reason, people forget that the Don also said that ”a lawyer with his brief case can steal more than a hundred men with guns“ (Godfather, pbk. edition, 52). One of the recurring themes of the novel is that people turn to the Mafia for help because of the corrupt and self-serving nature of many political and legal institutions that systematically allowed elites to plunder the politically weak. Puzo recognized, as sociologist Diego Gambetta explained more systematically, that the Sicilian Mafia flourished because it provided better ”protection” against crime and violations of property and contract rights than did the official authorities, who generally protected only the politically powerful elite. To a lesser extent, a similar dynamic enabled the America Mafia to emerge in Italian immigrant communities in the early 1900s, as Puzo vividly portrayed in his chapter on the rise of Don Corleone.
